Abstract

An interface, implemented in a computer, for representing and controlling the electronic assembly of books or manuals. The interface comprises a display, a plurality of directories, each directory identifying a selected group of documents to be printed and a plurality of objects, each object being associated with a visual representation on the display of a plurality of different ordered stock media. The interface interacts with software that will open up a directory and perform a predetermined sorting of the ordered media contained in each of the directories. The software also preferably sorts the directories for each of the ordered media types. An operator can use the graphic user interface to move a selected directory to a predefined location on the screen whereby the software will perform the sorting function automatically.
